Yes, I thought exactly the same, but I guess because steroids are 'last chance saloon' that the results are not going to be positive.
That said, my best advice is to focus on every day and enjoy every day because that's more important than worrying about what time you do or don't have left.
As he has been in renul failure for over 9 months now. He is also got athiritist and a heart mumer. and a few time we have helped him back from the brink of death.He lost loads of weight in the pass year and we found out he is diebtic too.But he has thought back loads of time.I wont let the kids go to him in the morning themself its always got to be me or hubby. He is 6 year old and is a Frenchie .I know one day he is going to pass away or I will need to make that dession and I will but at the moment he is happy and is not suffering.
